medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Steve,
I have argued that priests were forbidden to dress too much like knights:
“Forbidden Colors in the Regulation of Clerical Dress from the Fourth
Lateran Council (1215) to the Time of Nicholas of Cusa (d. 1464),”
Medieval Clothing and Textiles 1 (2005): 105-114.
That is aside from other prohibitions in canon law, like the one against
wearing swords.
